served to endear him to the hearts
Of the people where applied to the
discharge of his duties as their rep
resentatiye in the National halls of
legislation. He struck the nail
square on the head when he spoke
of Logan as pre-eminently fighter
when he had the approval of his
judgement and conscience, he fought
for what he believed to be right, re-
gardless of the opinions of others,
fought obstmately and persistently
until the field was won. 1t was this
quality, coupled with his energy,
iirmness and sagacity that placed
him in the front rank of the yolun-
teer warriors of all the ages, he had
reached the height, not by any mil
itmy training, not by any special
culture, but because he had that
faculty that enabled him to see and
take advantage of emergencies as
they arose in the line of his duty.
OF his devotion to his family and
friends. the inherent nobility of his
soul made him love and seek the
simple pleasures of his fireside, and
knit him to his friends in warmest
sympathy and interest. He spoke
at some length of his long career in
the service Of the people, as their
law maker and friend, of his thor
ough consistency and unflinching
integrity, his fidelity to duty. In
his christian character he WAS as in
tense and thorough as in all the
concerns of life demanding his at
tention and interest.
| We regret exceedingly We did not
take notes of these addresses-we
expected to obtain them for publ

been able to give them as our men,
DRY serves us; and this does but
feeble justice to their excellencies.
Both speakers were earnest and i'm
pressiye and evidently talked from
| the heart.
